It seems like every volume of Paper Girls is better than the last. As this is the third volume, in order to properly talk about it I will be talking about the last two volumes as well so if you haven’t read those yet and don’t want to be spoiled stop talking. Their reviews can be found here: Vol. 1 Vol.2
In Vol. 1 we were introduced to four girls KJ, Erin, Mac, and Tiffany, who all run paper routs. Their morning was interrupted by a band of time traveling beings from the future, some more friendly than others, and a host of monster. The girls were then flung from their home time in the 80’s into 2016 in Vol. 2 and are separated. There were more Monsters and they run into one of their future selves who helps them try to get back to their own time. Despite their efforts they end up in the deep past which is where we pick them up.
I am still amazed at how much can happen in 150 pages as, like the last two volumes, the story is so full in vol. 3. This time instead of fighting real monsters they end up fighting men along with learning lessons about what it is to be a female.
There are some sassy bits in the far future about our current political state and another cliffhanger, so it’s going to be a very long wait until vol. 4. I rated this graphic novel a 5 out of 5. The world being is fantastic and the story is fast paced. I can’t wait to get to read more of it.
